The third annual Golden Gods Awards took place in Los Angeles last night, and the rock gods were out in force to celebrate.

Performances included a collaboration between “Riff Lord” winner Slash and Alice Cooper who played “School’s Out” along with tracks from Slash’s first solo album. Slash also played “11 seconds of noise” in memory of his friend Jim Marshall who died this week.

Rush were given the lifetime achievement award by Tenacious D, who said Rush “has been blowing our minds and expanding everyone’s definition of rock” for 40 years.

Korn‘s dance/dubstep album won the award for “Best Album“, proving (regrettably) that dubstep is officially part of the rock (NOT METAL) mainstream.

Slipknot won “Best Comeback” after the tragic death of their bassist Paul Gray, whose name is officially attached to the “Best Bassist” award which went to Motley Crue‘s Nikki Sixx.
